A fantastic, completely intact interwar period (1920s–1930s) all-bisque jointed infant doll, heavily inspired by Rose O'Neill's classic Kewpie designs. The upper shoulder blades are deeply incised with a clear, crisp manufacturer origin mark reading: "MADE IN JAPAN 3".This premium listing features a fully working, 5-piece assembly (torso, two separately jointed arms, and two separately jointed bent baby legs) securely held together on its original internal elastic cord mechanism. It sits upright and poses beautifully. The doll features a sweet molded smile, side-glancing eyes, a small molded topknot tuft, and a solid block of bright orange-red cold paint across the back of the head.
- Dimensions: Approx. 7 inches tall
- Condition Note: Excellent structural antique condition with no chips, cracks, or breaks to the porcelain limbs or torso. Left completely in its original, uncleaned estate condition with authentic surface soot and dark spots to preserve the integrity of the century-old facial paint.
